Pill by rlaughy

Pill

Shot for the Mundane - Pill challenge. Learned many things: Aspirin tablets have a very interesting texture; Balancing an aspirin on a 200 year old powder horn can be challenging (Don't ask.); "bokeh" is Japanese for crumpled aluminum foil. You do learn the darnedest things on 365.
Fantastic shot! Great comp and I love the crumpled foil!

Thanks to you all. I felt a bit odd last night: Flashlights, lasers, reflective surfaces, lenses, filters, various standing props, all strewn about my writing desk, taking 128 photos of... an aspirin. The really odd part came when I realized this was not aberrant behavior. Thanks again for your comments.

@rlaughy Ha! I love reading about your props etc and that you took 128 shots! Now I don't feel so bad. I tell myself all the time "this is just crazy".
